The Firs

The cottage is on a working farm, with sheep, goats and geese visible close by.

We found it to be private, quiet and well away from any main roads. This was the perfect cottage for us to get away from the usual stresses of life, and felt very much relaxed there The cottage was very spacious, exceptionally clean and comfortable, and we would return there in a heartbeat. Many thanks for the thoughtful welcome hamper, it was very much appreciated.

A lovely property in a beautiful location.

It was very comfortable and had everything we needed. There were just two of us so plenty of space to spread out. It was beautiful sitting in the gardens and the views front and back were stunning. The property had everything needed for a comfortable stay. We shall have no hesitation staying here again in the future.

We needed a base for several family get togethers and The Firs was ideal.

Very comfortable cottage with great views and wildlife. It is located on a working farm and we spent some of our time just watching the lambs, goats and kid. There is a shop about mile away that sells most things and the pub next door serves delicious food with a good choice of beer. Very peaceful part of the country and a must for walkers.

We had a four night October break and could not fault this cottage.

Lovely views of the Stiperstones from the house and after one hour easy walk from the door we were up there. The weather was quite cold but the heating in the house was very good. All the facilities you would expect and everything was very clean. Very nice pub a mile away for a meal.

We had such a lovely time at The Firs, great location with stunning views, parking next to the cottage, hosts were on hand for any issues (resolved very quickly), very clean and cottage prepared to a very high standard.

The welcome basket was accommodating to both us and our 2 young children which added a personal touch. Highly recommended and we are planning our return trip!

Such a lovely welcoming cottage.

I would highly recommend. Lovely views and such a peaceful location. Everywhere was spotlessly clean and just as described on the site. Lots of nice places around to visit and good watering holes. Thank you Duncan for your great chats and your kindness which meant a lot to us. Loved watching Glenys & Glenda and geese ambling around the field. Will most definitely return to your beautiful spot and thanks also for your welcome pack ☺️

Nice walks from the cottage, good location Low beam was lower then expected

This was THE cleanest holiday home we have ever visited.

Every detail was so well thought out. It was comfortable and homely. Our little boys didn’t want to leave! Absolutely adored it. Beautiful home in a stunning location with wonderful owners.

We had a wonderful week at The Firs.

The cottage was perfect- very clean, comfortable and well equipped for our family. We had our two young children and Clare and Duncan provided everything we needed- travel cot, stairgate, high chair, children's cups, plates and cutlery etc. There was also a safe, enclosed garden perfect for playing outside. The setting was beautiful and peaceful with stunning views. During our week we visited the nearby Stiperstones and The Bog. We also went slightly further afield and explored Shrewsbury, Carding Mill Valley, Church Stretton, The Long Mynd and Blists Hill Victorian Town. Make sure you stop at the nearby Stiperstones Inn for lunch or dinner and The Bog visitor centre for some beautiful locally handmade souvenirs before you go home. Highly recommend this property for all and perfect for families. We can't wait to return and explore more of Shropshire from The Firs.

We would to thank Clare & Duncan for 4 relaxing and peaceful days at the Firs.

The cottage itself and the surrounding grounds were all spotless, neat and tidy. A lovely Welcome Pack awaited us, including fresh farm eggs, scones with Jam & butter and a chocolate Easter egg. Oil fired central heating kept us toasty warm during our stay with the option of having a wood fire. Early mornings saw us welcoming the sunrise with fresh coffee out on the gravelled patio area sitting at the outdoor dining furniture. We loved sitting in the quiet stillness (or bracing wind) listening to the birds and gazing across at the Stiperstones in the distance. We had an energetic walk up to the Stiperstones, start at the Bog Mine carpark (1 mile away) from the cottage, with a well earned rest at The Bog Visitor centre after, before heading back for a soak in the bath, glass of wine and a good book. We stocked up with everyday essentials at Morrisons and quality meat at Smiths the butchers in Minsterley (7 miles). We went and picked up a takeaway from Little Efes (cash only), proper lamb shish and chicken kebabs, located a few doors down from the butchers. We found our time there to be a quiet and peaceful one even though the cottage is on a working farm. Duncan & Clare were both respectful of our privacy whilst carrying on with the running of the farm and were always happy to help if we had a question. We will definitely book again.
